The recipe used for roasting rocks is patented and can be viewed on the website www.freepatentsonline.com The patent number is 6132291.
It is essentially a slow ramp up and down of temperature. You increase temp slowly because a rock with high moisture content can burst when the water turns to steam. It's mostly common sense and trial and error. A toaster oven has better temp control and less wasted energy. Low tech would put the rocks in a tin can full of sand and build a fire around it.
